Indexed but subsequently ignored messages remain indexed. I suggest to purge them from the index as if the files were removed. Example: * Create index including spam directory * Add spam directory to ignore list * Neither ´new´ nor ´reindex 'folder:spam'´ purges the spam messages from the index Markus _______________________________________________ notmuch mailing list notmuch@notmuchmail.org https://notmuchmail.org/mailman/listinfo/notmuch
